For Multi-Platform File Transfers

ASG-Outbound Enterprise consolidates your current data transfer mechanisms and software into a single, enterprise-wide solution for moving data across platforms. ASG-Outbound Enterprise gets the data where you want it, in the format you want!

ASG-Outbound Enterprise is a dynamic, multi-platform, managed file transfer product that enables you to transfer files of any record size or block size combination between disparate platforms. With ASG-Outbound Enterprise, you can run unattended data transfers between IBM-compatible, zSeries servers (z/OS, VSE, VM, and zLinux) and distributed platforms including Windows, Linux, Unix, and AS/400® systems. ASG-Outbound Enterprise supports transfers of DB2® tables and provides the ability to extract fields from DB2 databases and VSAM and QSAM data sets.

Secures your file transfers with an interface to external security products such as RACF®.
